It's a great feeling, isn't it? I felt the same way when I read Dostoyevsky. I love Nietzsche's quote about faith and objective truth in the letter he wrote to his sister in his 21st year. Amazing.

I let : a friend of mine at Auburn University read a : few, and he said 'Oh, this sounds just like : Nietzsche'. I had never heard that name : before then, and I went out and purchased : 'beyond good and evil'. : : It was almost like reading my own words. : Over and over again i saw what i had written : down reiterated in his books. To tell you : the truth, i was in fear that I was slowly : losing my mind... until i came across at : least another conciousness that was on the : same wavelength. : : And now, upon discovering this 'Nietzsche : Channel', hopefully i'll have the joy of : interacting with those whos pursuit of : 'truth' is just as uncanny as mine. :
